Authorities said it all started with the two vehicles racing and one of them losing control, causing it to rollover into oncoming traffic.
SAN ANTONIO — A horrific rollover crash on Highway 90 sent several people to the hospital. Bexar County sheriff’s deputies said the suspect rolled over the median after racing with another car, crushing another vehicle.
The call came in just before 9 p.m. on Highway 90 West before the 211 exit on the far west side.
One of the victims is a 10-year-old girl, and she was taken to a hospital in critical condition. However, Sheriff Javier Salazar later provided an update, saying that although she remains in serious condition, she is expected to survive. Her mother was also in the car that was hit, and she is in serious condition as well.
They were stuck inside their car after the crash happened and had to be rescued.
Authorities said it all started with the two vehicles racing and one of them losing control, causing it to rollover into oncoming traffic. But, before it came to a stop, the car rolled over another car and hit the mother and daughter in their vehicle.
The suspect also reportedly clipped a third car, but that car only had minor damage, and authorities said that driver was not hurt.
The suspect was taken to the hospital along with a passenger inside the car. The passenger, a woman, is in critical condition. The suspect has since been identified as 33-year-old John Hammer Felan. He is facing five felony charges and his bond is set at $300,000.
Authorities are searching for the other driver who was said to be racing Felan. They were in a white Volkswagen GTI with a black stripe. It’s unclear at this time if they knew each other. Felan was driving a green Pontiac GTO. If anyone has dashcam footage, you are asked to contact BCSO.
Investigators closed off both east and westbound lanes for several hours.
